Figure 2 is a similar vieW showing a str ap as being placed in position and preliminary to completely closing the bundle.

Figure 3is a section showing a fragment of the bundle andof the closure end of the strap and handle therefor.

Figure 4 is a view of a strap and handle member therefor.

The present application is a companion to and divided from the application, Serial N o. 160,398, tiled January 11,1927, for improvements in carry bundle straps', to Which cross reference is here made.

ln the present invention, the strap 9 1s cony structed of any suitable material such as a Apaper strip having one side thereof coated with an adhesive that'may be moistened to adhere to an article to be carried. Preferably the straps are cut in lengths classied and arranged to suit the needs of bundles of various sizes., At one end of each strap 9 is attached, a handle preferably constructed of a material tougher or stronger than the strap 9. The handle, as seen'best in Fig. 4 of the drawings,is an elongated strip having orifices 10 and l11 formed therein. Scored lines 12, 13 and 14 are provided to regulate the positions of the bends of the handle When forming the same to the shape shown as in Figure 1 of the drawings. The strap is usually purveyed With the handle outstretched as seen in Figure 4, With one end of` the strap 9 attached rigidly and permanently thereto, as also shown in the said Figure 4.

When using straps thus constructed, the strap portion 9 is moistened on the adhesive side thereof and is passed around the bundle y-or more times, the handle being bent .on the score lines 12,: 13 and 14, to yprovide the upstanding portion. 1i5as seen invFigures 1 and.3z.of the'dravvings. lThe free'en'd ofthe strap.portionl 9- is carried' around and ex.-

tendedfthroughthe apertures l0 and :11 tooVe'rlie the .flixfed end of `the strap portion v9 towhichit isflirmlyadhered, as Well as tothe apron portion 16 of the handle. .1Assoon as the adhesivesetsit: Willbelfound that a rm and strong carrying `device has been provided.

In forming the aperture 10, a folding sec;

l tion 17 is partly cut from thematerial of Which the handle is made. The kfolding section 17 is intended to pass through the apertures 10 and 11 to extend aroundthe upper parts of the folded handle portions 15, as

is best seen in Figures l and 3 of the drawings. The folding member thus provided prevents the raw edge of the material forming the apertures 10 and 11 from cutting or otherwise abraiding the hand of the person carrying the bundle.

`Claims.:
